Sometimes I think that I’ve become an underachiever in life; then I take a look at what my friends are up to, and I know I have. There’s J., putting child molesters away as a forensic nurse in the north; S., studying to be a nurse after 7 years in the jungles of Thailand; LeeAnn, traveling through Europe this year after Japan, and Australia, and Thailand, and Korea; Trevor, who’s embarking on his world tour. And then there’s Aaron, a fellow teacher from Japan, who has always amazed me with his charm and confidence, who the U.S. state department is now lucky enough to have as a foreign service officer. Where is the esteemed Aaron Snipe right now? Iraq. Not just Iraq; rural Iraq. And finally, finally! He has started a blog. So that all may see the amazing things he’s doing, and get a glimpse of many lands far far away, with ever more exotic forms of dying via food poisoning.
Here’s Aaron:
And here’s his blog. I hope you enjoy the gift of meeting and discovering Aaron Snipe as much as I have. Good luck in Iraq, Aaron! We’re waiting for you to turn things around (no pressure).
